“I am going to
frame it and place it on my desk at home everyday.” He muttered to himself as
he looked at the picture longingly. That was a picture of a girl, about the
same age as him, which he had found on the streets, or should I say, found him
on the streets. He was walking against the wind when a piece of paper suddenly
flew straight into his face. As he lifted it up and examined it, he saw the
beauty in the picture, as it was then, that he fell in love with the girl on
the picture. Love at first sight, indeed, as he has absolutely no knowledge of
her, neither has he seen her in real life, and there was no reason for him to
just fall in love like that…But he did.
A few years
later, he was in Junior College when he made a daring promise—He was going to
find that girl, no matter what it takes. By then, he was a handsome boy, with
blonde hair and swaggy looks, and many girls have already proposed to him, but
he rejected them all. He only had that one girl in his mind. And so, with that
promise, he set off to find his childhood love.
5 years later,
he hasn’t even gotten a trace of her location, despite him posting her picture
on every social media and on every notice board, but after all, it’s hard to
judge how a person looks now by their looks 10 years ago. “Sigh. Maybe this was
all just a mistake. A big lie.” Feeling dejected and depressed, he sat by the
window of his apartment and wondered.
What is the
meaning of all this?
However,
little did he know, that hard work pays off, and rewards will start coming, knocking
on your door.
A few more
years later, he married a girl, which he thought, was the best at that time,
decent looks, decent wealth and decent academics. One day, the girl saw the
picture which he beautifully and carefully framed, and asked him, where did he
find that picture.
“It found me. It
was blown onto my face and I fell in love with the girl on the picture. First
love, I guess.”
Astonished,
the girl gave him a big hug.
“I lost that
picture when I was 7.”
~~Hard work pays, doesn’t it? But sometimes you just need a little bit of luck.~~
